Show 2 The Daily Utah -- Tuesday, March 2, 1999 Chronicle n Brief Editor, Laura Hancock: laura.hancockchronicle.utah.edu Assistant News Editor, Dave Hancock: davechronicle.utah.edu News Nation Law Schools Forced to Sacrifice Ideals or Allow Army Recruitment The 162 institutions belonging to the American Association of Law Schools, including the University of Utah, have pledged to bar employment recruiters from campus who discriminate by sexual orientation. Students at these same institutions receive millions of dollars in Perkins y loans and annually, aid which is tied to a congressional demand to allow the military to recruit work-stud- on campus. These two policies conflict, because the military, which will not hire openly gay individuals, violates the nondiscrimination policies of the law schools. Thus law schools arc forced to choose between their nondiscrimination policies and aid for their students. The policy "forces schools to pick between two disadvantaged groups: those who arc denied career opportunities solely on the basis of sexual orientation and those who depend on financial aid to pursue a professional education," said Stanford Law Prof. Deborah Rhode, former president of the American Association of Law Schools. Stanford Law School has used a number of different tactics to avoid making a direct decision. But Stanford is not alone in its attempts to subvert the linkage of aid to military recruitment, a linkage spelled out in congressional legislation known as the Solomon Amendment. Few law schools have come out in direct defiance of the amendment, which was adopted in 1996. One of the few that has is New York University Law School. The school, which has outright refused to allow military recruiters on campus, has not had its federal funding adversely affected, according to the Chronicle of Higher Campus Prize - Winning Plaj to Be Performed for Women's Week March '"night, Mother," the Pulitzer play by Marsha Norman, will be presented in three performances during the 1999 Women's Week at the University of Utah. Show times are Friday, March 5, at 1 p.m. and 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, March 6, at 2 p.m. at the Fine Arts Museum at the U. All performances are free. The p.m. Friday performance will be followed by a panel discussion with experts on women's issues. The moderator will be Nancy Melich of the Salt Lake Tribune, and it includes Brenda Voisard, Ph.D., coordinator of counseling at the U's Women's Resource Center, and Eli Y. Adashi, M.D., professor and chair of the department of obstetrics and gynecology at the U's Health Sciences Center. The play focuses on a mother and daughter who have been marginalized by their circumstances and thwarted in Prize-winnin- g 1 relationships. During the play, both women confront fundamental choices of life and death, challenging the audi ence to consider the deeper aspects of what signifies a fulfilled life, and the consequences arising from the free- dom to choose one's destiny. The play is directed. by Helen E. Richardson of the U theatre depart- ment and performed by Robyn Bringhurst and Theresa A. Carson. Richardson teaches acting and directing at the U. She is the former artistic director of the English language Stalhouderij Theater in Amsterdam, the Netherlands.

Most law schools have taken the middle road, however, allowing some measure of military recruiting on campus but making clear their displeasure Majerus to Sign Copies of His Book At Local Barnes and Noble Stores and taking compensatory actions to support gay and lesbian students. The Stanford Daily Anyone ready to write off Rick Majerus as the affable fat guy on the sidelines quickly changed their tune last season when Majerus led his University of Utah team on an extraordinary run to the Final Four and NCAA championship. Along the way, Majerus won millions of fans with his wit, candor and obvious devotion to his players. Basketball aficionados quickly elevated him to the elite group of college basketball coaches that have become household names, such as John Wooden, Dean Smith and John Thompson. In "My Life on a Napkin," Majerus tells his own story of how a chubby kid from Milwaukee, Wis. found himself at the Final Four, upsetting office pools across the country. He talks about how he roughed out his plays on a restaurant napkin the night before the (U-wir- e) Quote of the Day One poster had a moustache drawn on it. Another had the word "dork" written across Rose's chin. The third had a piece of masking tape on which a vulgar comment was written.
